‘Canyon Spirit’ Derails After Hitting Tanker Truck
Canyon Spirit, the luxury tour train in Colorado and Utah, derailed on May 6 after striking a tanker truck carrying hot asphalt near Rifle, Colo.
More than 300 people were on the train at the time of the collision. No passengers or crew members were injured, but the truck driver sustained “minor to moderate” injuries. The passengers were taken off the train and bused to their final destination of Moab, Utah.
Images of the derailment show that the lead unit suffered damage to the front end and that both locomotives and a handful of passenger cars were off the rails. The derailment occurred on single track and was impacting both freight and passenger service. It was unclear when the route would reopen.
